- <p>Tama and Mike White from Tucson, Ariz., thumb through art books at Saturday's PAA Starving Artists Sale in the Ocean Park Timberland Library. Tama said she and her husband have been coming to the Peninsula "for a number of summers now." Both are interested in art and showed up right at the sale's 10:30 a.m. starting time. An annual event, a percentage of proceeds from this sale goes to PAA's Scholarship Fund.</p>
Twenty-four local artists displayed and sold their creations Friday and Saturday at Oysterville Arts & Artisan Fair Art Show. Eight artists were set up under tents outside on the schoolhouse lawn. Fifteen were set up inside the historical school building. Here, shoppers mill around the works of painter Ruth Carpenter (back right) and Janet Herring (behind American flags) who weaves intricate and artistic baskets from cranberry vines. Sales were strong for many of the artists.
